Why Choose the Pizzato FD703 Position Switch?
The Pizzato FD703 is a robust industrial position switch with a roller lever actuator, designed for dependable mechanical position detection in machinery and automation systems. Part of the established Pizzato FD series, it combines a durable metal housing with roller-lever actuation for reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
The FD703 features a 1NO + 1NC slow-action contact block with make-before-break operation. This overlapped contact arrangement causes the normally open contact to close before the normally closed contact opens during actuation, providing a defined switching sequence for industrial control, monitoring and signalling circuits.
Its roller lever actuator provides smooth mechanical engagement with cams and moving machine components, helping reduce sliding friction during repeated operation. The standard FD703 uses a PG13.5 threaded conduit entry, features a painted metal enclosure and provides IP67 protection according to EN 60529 for reliable service in industrial installations.

Reliable Position Detection for Industrial Machinery
Position switches such as the Pizzato FD703 convert mechanical movement into an electrical switching signal, allowing machinery control systems to determine when a moving component has reached a defined position. The roller lever is particularly suitable for operation by cams, carriages and other moving machine components where smooth repeated actuation is required.
The FD703 combines roller-lever operation with slow-action make-before-break contacts for predictable switching behaviour. Its robust metal enclosure, IP67 protection and industrial FD series construction make it suitable for repeated position monitoring within production, material handling and automated machinery.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position monitoring.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Machine travel and end-position detection.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Cam-operated position sensing applications.
